Located on the border of the communes of Heudreville-sur-Eure and Acquigny, “Le Clos Saint-Mauxe”, a small clearing, is a symbolic place of the Christian faith. In the first centuries of our era, Saint-Mauxe, bishop of Italy, persecuted for his faith in God, took refuge in Gaul, accompanied by his brother Vénérand, deacon, and two priests Marc and Etherius. Pursued by the proconsul Sabinus from whom they had escaped in Italy, they were joined by their enemies in this clearing. Sabinus had the heads of Saint Mauxus and Saint Vénérand cut off... as well as eight of his own soldiers who had just been converted by the words and miracles of the holy bishop. This site became a place of fervor and devotion where processions were regularly organized, particularly during difficult times, for example during the plague of 1517 or the droughts of 1556 and 1785. According to historical records, miracles were even cited and an altar with a stone column was erected

This work located in the town of Acquigny allowed the old Dreux-Rouen railway to cross the Eure.

Located on the banks of the Iton, the castle was built in 1775, in the neoclassical style characteristic of this period. The cut stone facades have retained their monumentality (basement, noble floors and attic), reinforced by the austerity of the few decorative elements (pediment, cornices). The facades and roofs of the four buildings on the farm were listed in the MH in 1977, the castle, the so-called chalet house, the stables and sheds as well as the cellar located in the commune of Acquigny were listed in 1994 in the MH.

Church of Acquigny

Built between the 11th and 17th centuries, the Notre-Dame cathedral mixes many styles between its nave, its arcades, its transept, its choir, its windows and its chapels. A real must in Évreux.
